About

Champ de Mars is a sprawling public greenspace in Paris’s 7ᵗʰ arrondissement, nestled between the iconic Eiffel Tower and the École Militaire. Originally a 18th‑century military drill ground, it has evolved into a wide‑spaced park offering lawns, paths, and shaded promenades ideal for picnics, strolls, and leisurely relaxation. The park has witnessed historic celebrations—from Bastille Day festivals and the 1889 Exposition Universelle to the 2024 Olympic Games, when temporary venues such as the Eiffel Tower Stadium were erected. Visitors enjoy panoramic views of the Eiffel Tower, art installations like the 2012 United Buddy Bears exhibit, and dedicated spaces for sports, concerts, and cultural events.
